Leadership Memberships

The foresight of four generations has provided our community a priceless legacy. With recent renovations, we now have a regional museum that measures up to any in the United States whose mission continues to be education in the arts, sciences, and civilizations that follows the vision of our founder, Levi Mengel, who wrote:

"The function of the Museum is to furnish food for thought and to expand the human intellect by bringing in contact with the senses, the actual material whereby knowledge may be gained direct."

Leadership Members are a select and valued group of donors, including both individuals and businesses. They support The Museum at a level that makes an impact. In recognition, a wide range of benefits including privileged access to events and exhibits, insider information, and invitations to exclusive social events.
